Public bug reported: I installed ubuntu over a previously existing system, this happened from the first alpha I tried, and every live-(daily)disk beta/alpha version afterward.
To replicate: 1 Install ubuntu on a system ( in my case I used btrfs as the filesystem, and separate home and root partitions ) 2 install ubuntu on the same system, but now do not format the partitions. 2a have a nice crash.
